Arsene Wenger has chosen to start both Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere as Arsenal aim to enter the Europa League final by toppling Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the semi-finals.

The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, which means the second leg is evenly poised. Arsenal will be looking to provide a proper sendoff to Arsene Wenger, but Atletico Madrid stand firm between them and their vision of lifting the Europa League crown.

Arsene Wenger has chosen to start Jack Wilshere in midfield in what seems like a 4-3-3, which could be a major talking point come the end of the game, positively or otherwise. There is no place for Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the starting lineup as the Armenian drops to the bench.
